Sam Satan.

ALBANY, GA, December l1.-Upon
the Tarver plantation, in Baker County,
there is negro, giant in height, and
of almost superhuman strength. HIS
feet are large in proportion to his stature,
and it being impossible to purchase any
shoes large enou ga for him at the stores,
they have to be made to order, at great
outlay of leather aud cost. He puts his
large feet to excellent use, being rapid
pedestrian. He frequently leaves the
plantation to foot it to town at the same
time that some other party departs
behind fast horse, and when the driver
reaches Albany, a distance of over
twenty miles, be finds the walker already
in the city. lie is fond of doing acts of
great strength aud prowess, and goes by
the name of Sam Satan.
Between the Tarver plantation and
town there lies an old cemetery. Once,
while making rapid strides toward Alba
ny, Sam neared the graveyard, and he
heard some one in loud voice crying,
"Get up, get up" repeatedly. AS he
reached the place he saw an oid man
apparently driving a pair of white
korses, and calling out to them in loud
voice. Upon approaching the horses
and driver the trio suddenly disappeared.
There was sudden rush of air past him,
and all was still. No sign could be seen
of either horses or driver. Sam now
allows some distance to lie between him
and that resting place of the dead IN his
pedestrian tours to Albany.

Nan and Wife go to the Lunatic Asy.
Inm Together.

AMERIcUs, December THE saddest
case your correspondent has been called
upon to record is the sending of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. S. Sullivan to the asylum, which
was done last Friday. Only few years
ago Mr.. "Sid" Sullivan was one OF the
most reliable business men in this city
and WAS really an expert in book-keep.
Ing. while his wife, Mrs. Nora Sullivan,
was noted for her refinement of manner,
her literary accomplishments and her
musical talent. She was prominent in
the leading charities of her church, while
emanatious from her pen, both in prose
and ~ tbmic measure, frequently appeared
in the local press in advocacy of that
pAtch was noble, good and true. But
by some means they both became slaves
to the opium habit and later to liquor.
These evil habits, added to consump'
tive constitution, in time lost to MIR. Sui
livan the confidence of the business
community, and he was unable to get re-
munerative employment. They drifted
from bad to worse until they were thrown
upon the charities of the church.
Finally they became so irresponsible
that any contributions of money, or
articles that could be converted into
money, we're sure to go for morphine and
whiskey.
Last week commission passed upon
their condition and they were sent to the
asylum, the FIRST case on the records OF
the State asylum where man and wife
have gone there tngether.- Correspondence

Blaine Is the Man.

The meeting of the National republi
can committee Thursday was one of the
most interesting in the history of the
party, gays the Washington correspon-
dent of the Baltimore Sun. The pro.
ceedipgs were of spirited character
throughout and all the members pro-
fessed to have the brightest hopes for the
future. The friends of Mr.. Blaine had
full control, and if there had been any
doubt before as to his intentions, what
took place 10 day settled decisively that
he is the man who will again make the
race with Cleveland. Mr.. Blaine's
prompt comments on the presidents
message, cabled from Paris and printed
This morning were regarded as signif
cant indication by his friends in the
national committee. He preferred
Chicago for the meeting of the conven-
ton, and to Chicago it is to go. His
expressions on the message were
reecboed all day by his friends and in the
committee when the doors were clofed.
Every doubtful Northern State was in
Imagination carried next November for
the republican candidate. The Virginia
republicans who addressed the committee
were most enthusiastic in their predlc'
tions as to what Virginia would do next
year. Other Virginia republicans pri'
vstely said they could carry Virginia
with Blaine, but with no other republican
candidate.

A New ornamenta1 rree.

OF this tree Mr.. P. J. Berckmans says:
"The first tree of the umbrella form is re-
ported to have been found upon the land
of President Burnett, at San Jacinto,
Tex. received few seeds from that
tree some twenty years since, and the
seedlings have retained the identical form
of the parent. To distinguish this from
the common China tree I gaveit the name
of Umbra culiformis, with the approval Of
Professor Asa Gray, who SOW the young
trees here"
The trees are very desirable ornamental
shade trees for the south, being very rapid
growers and very symmetrical in shape.
The greatest objection is the fact that they
are deciduous. Speaking OF this tree some
weeks ago we said that in the winter it
was the reverse of ornamental. We have
been requested to reverse this opinion.
We are not prepared to do so, but it Is
merely a personal opinion, and no one
else need be influenced by it. In fact, we
today heard two gentlemen speak very
highly of its appearance in winter when
the leaves are off. 1t is, Of course, quite
as regular and symmetrical in shape at
one time as at another, but the entire abb
sence Of any small twigs gives the branches
a rather uncouth, club shaped appearance.

Mrs. Blaine Wins.

Mrs. Blaine won the first skirmish of
1883 over Mrs. Cleveland in this city al
the Baptist Fair last week, where there
was spirited contest on party lines for
a beautiful quilt to be presented to one
of the two distinguished ladies named.
The contest was quite animated, aud al
half. past on Saturday evening, within
an hour of the closing of the poll, the
vote was announced as 1l6 for Mrs.
Cleveland and 112 for Mrs. Blaine; but
the Republican blood of the old Repub-
lican Gibraltar was warmed up on the
homestretch, and when the vote was
finally announced, Mrs. Blaine was victor
by l7S to 1876 for Mrs. Cleveland. In
the contest for the second quilt, in which
Hrs. Governor Beaver and Mrs. Tx Gov
ernor Pattison we're made competitors,
Mrs. Pattison was victor by Ill to S6 for
Mrs. Beaver. The Baptist Fair thus
equally divided its political favors.
1t was a plucky fight for Mrs. Cleve
land to lead Mrs. Blaine in strongly
Republican denomination and equally
strong Republican city, uotil the long
roll WdS 6OUuutu lOi Au1A o"~' 81 ~
her worthy competitor; and but for the
regular declaration of the vote at stated
periods, it is probable that Mrs. Cleve-
land would have been victorious; but it
was highly crelitable to Philadelphias,
where Blaine's majority was over 80, 900,
to give Mrs. Blaine the quilt when Mrs;
Cleveland is presumably we'll supplied
with such articles in the White House:
It was one of the shrewd devices of
level.headed leaders of the Baptist Far
to pit against each other two of the most
respected women of the land to inspire
the enthusiasm and enlarge the generos-
ity of their respective paftisans; and the
good cause for which the Fair was held
pro6ted by the quickened partisan sym
pathies of visitors. If partisan feeling
was never summoned for worse purpose,
it would always be we'll for the country.

A Serious Loss to Georgia.

ATLANTA, December 11.-Gustave j.
Orr, LII. D., Superintendent of Educa.
ton for the State of Georgia, and one of
the most distinguished educators in the
Southern States, died at his home in
Atlanta to-day, after short illness. The
immediate cause of death was brain
fever. DR.. Orr was born in Orrsville, S:
c., in 1919. When boy he removed
with his fathers family to Jackson
County, Georgia. He was educated for
the law, but never practiced that profes.
sion. He was fond of literature, and
preferred the quieter occupation OF
teacher. He proved one of the most
successful teachers the State ever pro-
duced. He was q professor in Emory
College and was president of the Mason
ic College. He welded when young
man Miss Anderson, daughter of Col.
Anderson, after whom the county of that
name in South Carolina was called.
Fifteen years ago he was appointed State
Superintendent of Education, and has
held that ever since. He is recognized
as the founder of the public school sys-
tenn in Georgia. To him more than to
anY other dozen men are the negroes
indebted for tha educational advantages
they now enjoy. By whites and blacks
alike he was held in the highest esteem,
not alone for his great learning, but for
his beneYolence. His funeral will take
place to morrow.

The Nonsense Of Science

Sanitary science has worked much
good, but it has disseminated much non.
sense. Now it is the manufactured article
which is big with the germs of death; now
the water; now the air; now the milk. Ii
half that has been written of these sub
jects were the truth, there would be no
further need for agitation. All the people
would have been dead long ago. AS
any article of popular consumption.
Everybody knows this, and, as rule, an
effort is made to procure that which is
pure. When such end cannot be accom-
plished, sickness and perhaps death may
result. But the theory that everything
known is full of germs of fatality seems
incompatible with the fact that people
continue to liyc.-Omaha Herald.

In Michigan lumber camp the

There was no opening at either end of

for the snakes presence only upon the

The Preachers Quotation.

verse in Matthew about "not one jot or
tittle," and said: ''Not ono tot or little" !"
Thenuhe saw that he had erred and tried
again. "Not one jilt or tottle," said he,
and again stopped. But he would not

and then with q red face he gave it up

1t is well known fact that foreigners
often find in this country remarkable
things which Americans do not notice,
and so it was with Santley, the great
English singer, the last time he was in
America. He is great pipe smoker, and
here he found carved pipe representing
the head of Mephisto, which SO wonder
fully depicted devilish character and dis
played SO much intensity of thought to
the work that Santley took in the whole
situation at a glance and purchased the
pipe. It is now claimed to be one Of the
